I am Fugui

Chapter 235 Goodbye Comrade Chen

Xu Fugui thought that he wouldn't be able to stay in the capital for long, but he didn't expect that this stay would last for two months, and a whole summer vacation would pass by.

If so, he still can't go back to the cadre school. As for studying and so on, where is the task organized and arranged important?

The plan for simplification of Chinese characters has been passed, but as an expert proposed a plan for the pinyin of Chinese characters, they got busy again.

Fortunately, Xu Fugui also knew the pinyin of Chinese characters, and the plan went smoothly.

Even without him, the knowledge of these experts is enough to complete this project. After all, with the reference of English, an international language, it is still very simple to come up with pinyin of Chinese characters.

Two months passed in a flash, the capital was already hot and dry, and Xu Fugui gradually got used to the daily life of steamed buns as his staple food.

However, he still misses the delicious white rice in his hometown. The guest house occasionally cooks rice, but it is a minority after all. Rice is considered a relatively expensive food in the north.

"Okay, today's work is over here first, everyone can go back." In a library, a silver-haired old man said warmly.

He is an expert in linguistics, he also proposed the Chinese Pinyin, and he is also the person in charge of this project.

In addition to the silver-haired old man, there are several experts beside him, most of them are old people, and only Xu Fugui is the young man.

There is no way, this is not in school, if you want to participate in the project, you must either have real talents or a background in the sky, Duan Xingguo and the others, including Zhou Weimin, do not have the opportunity to join.

So, some time ago, they brought their awards and returned to the provincial capital contentedly, leaving Xu Fugui alone to help.

Xu Fugui put down his work, first stretched himself, greeted the others with a smile, and was about to get up and go back to the guest house.

"Fugui, you've worked hard this time." Before he walked out of the library, the silver-haired old man stopped him, looking at him with a hint of appreciation.

To put it bluntly, Xu Fugui is half responsible for the progress of the Chinese character pinyin project, and he did not expect that this young man has such a good understanding.

Moreover, he is very down-to-earth in doing things, and walks steadily step by step. He usually treats people with gentleness and humility, and he always smiles at everyone. It is hard not to be liked.

Xu Fugui said some polite words, turned around and walked out of the library, and came to the street.

The weather today is good, neither sunny nor rainy, thick clouds cover the sky, and a cool wind blows in the streets and alleys.

The air pressure was slightly high, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Xu Fugui lit a cigarette and walked alone on the stone-paved street, watching all kinds of people pass by.

There was a family of three chatting and laughing, a couple of elderly people were noisy, a few children were chattering, and there were people like him walking alone on the street.

He took a puff of his cigarette and couldn't help sighing. He missed his family a little bit. He didn't contact them for two whole months, and he didn't know what happened at home.

Back at the guest house, the staff at the front desk were already familiar with him, and said with a smile, "Officer Xu, you are back. Tonight, we will have delicious rice and pork stewed vermicelli."

Xu Fugui smiled, "Just kidding me again, I'm not a cadre."

The meal in the evening was really hearty, white rice, pork stewed vermicelli, and seaweed egg drop soup, which made his belly round.

Currently, he lives in a room by himself, and it is boring to stay in the guest house all the time. Before it was dark, he went outside for a walk as usual.

As the evening approached, the wind around him was getting stronger and stronger, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be darkening. Afraid of rain, he hurried back to the guest house.

As soon as he walked in, the staff at the front desk said anxiously: "Comrade Xu, a leader is looking for you, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Fugui was taken aback, "Which leader?"

"I don't know, now, just sit there."

Following the gaze of his fingers, a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair was sitting quietly at a dining table, holding a newspaper in his hand, even though he didn't make any movements, he still had an aura of calmness and prestige.

This man was wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit, with dark skin and an ordinary face. There were two guards standing beside him. He looked like a big leader.

Xu Fugui was startled at first, feeling a little terrified, but in the next second he couldn't believe it.

He felt that the leader seemed familiar.

"Officer Xu, don't be dazed, go over quickly."

Xu Fugui suppressed the doubts in his heart, confirmed that there was no problem with his appearance, and walked over.

Perhaps hearing the movement, the leader put down the newspaper and turned to look over.

The moment they made eye contact, Xu Fugui threw all the drafts he had prepared behind him, and asked in surprise, "Comrade Chen?"

Comrade Chen sized him up, smiled and beckoned him to sit down, "Fugui, I don't think you still remember me."

As soon as he spoke, Xu Fugui felt very close, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit opposite him, "I dare not forget, Comrade Chen's teachings, I still dare not forget. I never thought that a leader like you would still remember my name, hahaha."

Comrade Chen seemed very pleased with his calmness, waved his hand, signaled the guards to stay away, and then said: "Don't call me Comrade Chen, it's not a time of war anymore, you don't need to keep it secret, just call me Uncle Chen .”

Xu Fugui scratched the back of his head, "You are a great leader, so I am taking advantage of you."

He did not forget that Du Yuzhi, Zhou Weimin, and many officials supported Comrade Chen, which showed that Comrade Chen was not only a great leader, but had his own faction.

Such a big guy, logically speaking, would not care about a small person like him. I don't know why he came to find me today.

Xu Fugui has self-knowledge, and it is impossible for the leader to take a fancy to him at first sight, so just treat him with a normal heart.

Without pursuit, naturally there is no need to bow down to please.

Comrade Chen laughed, "Is there any advantage of a title? Speaking of you, you're not curious about my identity?"

Xu Fugui nodded, and said honestly, "Curious, but I won't ask."

"Why don't you ask?"

"So what if you ask, so what if you don't ask."

Comrade Chen seemed to understand what he meant, "You boy, I don't know whether to say that you are wise or stupid."

Seeing that the teacup in front of him was empty, Xu Fugui filled it up with the teapot on the table, and then asked, "Uncle Chen, who are you looking for?"

Comrade Chen knocked on the table, first took a sip of tea, then took out a box of cigarettes inside, and handed him one, "It's nothing, it's not something you can touch."

Xu Fugui sneered, now he completely didn't know the reason why Comrade Chen got close to him.

Comrade Chen smiled gently, "Don't think so much, just chat with you casually. When you get old, you like to recall the past. I remember when you were in the prison in Yunxi County."
